Sky Pillar

Sky Pillar was north of Pacifidlog Town and Waterway route 131.

Today, after Aisha explained to Summer that he was going to go to Sky Pillar to do some research, he politely declined the request of the Dayan Elite to accompany him.

However, Summer, who cared for him, had lent out her Dragapult to Aisha as a means of transportation and a defensive fighting force.

This time Aisha in turn did not refuse.

After all, the distance from Rustboro City to Pacifidlog Town was not close at all.

If one were to rely on the regular way to catch up, I'm afraid, Groudon and Kyogre wouldn't even be able to reach Sky Pillar themselves by the time they had finished replenishing their energy and started the second great battle.

"Brush-!!!"

Above the azure sky, the body of Dragapult that presented a streamlined attitude was like a mighty fighter jet, and the horns on both sides of its head were dragging two pure white air currents above the vast blue sky at breakneck speeds.

"Sky Pillar is north of Waterway route 131!"

Checking the electronic map that Steven had gifted to him, Aisha, who was riding on top of the spine of Dragapult, also gave a new order, saying, "It's almost time to land!"

"Pult!"

Dragapult chirped in response to Aisha's command.

After that, this unimaginably fast Pseudo-Legendary also quickly lowered the altitude of his flight, gradually sticking to the endless deep blue sea.

Aisha did not choose to stay in Pacifidlog Town for much longer.

He had to head to Sky Pillar as soon as possible...

"Shoo-!!!"

Finally, almost another twenty minutes later, a solitary island gradually appeared above the sea level ahead.

On top of the isolated island, the ancient tower that appeared as a three-pronged column was also quickly reflected in Aisha's eyes - this was the Sky Pillar, the habitat of Rayquaza.

"Pult!"

Seemingly sensing the rich and powerful dragon attribute aura coming from above the Pillar of the Sky, Dragapult carrying Aisha also revealed an excited expression and couldn't help but speed up its flight.

"Ha!"

After Dragapult had ascended the isolated island, Aisha's legs also quickly gave out, dashingly jumping off its spine and landing on top of the thick ground.

"Ha... It's true that it's still the best feeling to have your feet on the ground!"

Standing above the ground again after almost three hours of flying, Aisha also revealed a soothing expression.

"Pult!"

Hearing Aisha's words, Dragapult instantly revealed a disgruntled expression, and his small claws lightly knocked the back of his head.

"Not disliking you~"

Taking out Dragapult's Poké Ball, Aisha also thank it by touching its horns with the two Dreepy hidden within the horns.

"This time, thanks to you guys!"

"Pult!"

Having received Aisha's compliments, Dragapult and Dreepy also revealed a naive smile.

"Buzz!"

After retrieving Dragapult, Aisha also walked in the direction of the tall tower.

The top layer of this tall tower was already completely lost in the clouds.

Even if the tower's appearance was showing a bit of disrepair and obsolescence after two thousand years, its majestic aura was still intimidating.

"The ghostly craftsmanship of the People of Meteor..."

Looking up at the Sky Pillar, Aisha couldn't help but sigh with emotion at the superior craftsmanship of the People of Meteor who had built this tower.

The top floor of Sky Pillar was the habitat of Rayquaza, so Aisha gave up the idea of commanding Dragapult to bring himself to the top floor - the real Rayquaza wasn't a good-tempered existence, if he used a cheating method to ascend to the top floor of Sky Pillar, that guy would definitely attack without hesitation!

"Ka!"

After calming down a bit, Aisha finally pushed open the door of Sky Pillar.

Along with the dust drifting away, Aisha entered within the high tower.

"The mural of Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza?"

When he entered the tower, the first thing that caught his eyes was the mural of the three Ultra Ancient Pokémon inscribed on the wall of the Sky Pillar.

The original Groudon and Kyogre, and the Mega-evolved Rayquaza...

After that were the remnants of the tower.

"Ka!"

After taking a step, Aisha instantly felt the floor he stepped on underneath the soles of his feet was a little bit weak.

"Not good!"

Quickly jumping forward, Aisha landed five meters away.

"Boom!"

At the same time, the heavy and dull sound of crumbling reached Aisha's ears.

"Wow!"

Listening to the sound of sand and stone pouring down, Aisha turned back - the location where he had been stationed just now had shattered out into a large pit!

"..."

Seeing the large pit, even Aisha had a bit of an explosive thought.

"Why is even this mechanic restored so realistically?"

Thinking of Sky Pillar within the game, which had to be passed by a Mach Bike, Aisha felt his head hurt a little.

This design is too anti-human...

"Uninvited intruder, this is Sky Pillar, how does it feel?"

Aisha was still pondering how he was going to safely travel to the top of Sky Pillar when a female voice filled with a wild aura entered his ears without warning.

"What?"

Aisha was startled and quickly raised his head.

Only to see a black-haired girl draped in a burlap cloak scurrying out from somewhere above the stratum that was twenty meters above the ground.

She was thrusting her slender waist and looking down on Aisha from above.

"You?"

"It really didn't occur to me that the one within the legend, Divine Dragon-sama, actually chose his trainer as well."

Before he could finish his sentence, the girl wearing hot pants and a short-sleeved blouse explained Aisha's identity as the "trainer of Rayquaza".

"It's really thanks to you that you managed to find your way to this place, you're clearly not one of the people of Meteor, why on earth would you know about the connection between this Sky Pillar and Rayquaza?" The words were colored with a touch of doubt, however, the girl also waved her palm with a face full of concern and said, "Forget it, this kind of thing, it doesn't matter now."

"You are the People of the Meteor?"

Gazing at the girl, Aisha also recognized her identity - People of Meteor Village - Zinnia.

"Right."

Graciously recognizing her identity Zinnia also smiled as she looked down towards Aisha - this teenager who had the energy of Rayquaza wrapped around his body was simply shining like a hot sun to her.

Afterward, looking towards the mural at the back, Zinnia spread her arms.

"As a reward for being so good, I'll let you see my collection."
